Karelian Front

The Karelian Front was an army group of the Soviet Red Army that existed from August 1941 to 1945. The party was founded after the Soviet Northern Front was divided into the Karelian front and the Leningrad Front during the Continuation War with Finland, and Valerian A. Frolov led the front until 1944. The front took over much of Finland during the war, and the front's victory in the Petsamo-Kirkenes Offensive was the first major battle in the Arctic in history. The front was disbanded after Nazi Germany's surrender in May 1945.
